Random Rambling

I am completely captivated with the lake
view I have today. Although, I must confess it’s quite distracting. Too many
times I’ve sat down ready to write up a post for the blog and poof, all
thoughts go out the window as my eyes rise up over the laptop and stare out the
window. I swear it seems the water just glitters beneath the sunlight. It’s
truly lovely. I am now officially house and dog sitting for friends (as
mentioned in a previous post). Spending my week with the sweetest puppies (a Yorkshire
terrier and a Pomeranian) as I enjoy the spoils of such pretty views. If not
for the heat wave Michigan, or at least this part of the state is going through
I would probably be tempted to dive into the lake. Now that probably sounds odd
given most people love being in the water on a hot day, but I had a heatstroke
when I was seventeen, so for me there is such thing as too hot! All I can say
is thank goodness for air-conditioning on these kinds of days!

Today I am planning on getting more work
done with the touch ups to the blog layout. I do have colors picked out, but I am
tweaking and testing on a top secret account. ;) Going to make sure I’m
completely satisfied with it, before I just up and put it in place. I’m also
going to check out my account with the company I use for my domain name, to try
and link it together better with here. I often find that just putting in
janeridgewood.net does not have an RSS feed attached. I need to figure out how
to fix this. I also need to conquer this Pinterest site that seems to have so
many people excited. LOL! I did sign up to get my invitation and received it, I
just haven’t had a moment to sign up and take a closer look just yet.

Working on design stuff for my sites though,
definitely have me feeling quite excited for college days ahead. Nope, I’m not
a current student and I never made it to college. Heck I confess that I dropped
out of high school. Here I am though at 27 years old facing my past mistake and
moving forward in life. I am going to be working on getting my GED in the very
near future, then onto college education. In college I want to study web and
graphic design. Now that’s not to take away from my aspirations as a writer,
but I don’t see any harm in having a backup plan or even getting a steady
career going for myself while I continue to pursue writing. Writing is my
number one passion and I definitely want to take classes to improve my skill,
but here again – I just don’t see harm in having a backup plan in case things
don’t work out quite as I hope them to.

Alright, now in an attempt to wrap this post
I’m going to make a confession. I have been a bad girl and haven’t been going
for walks since I’ve been out in the country. It seems I miss the trail I was
taking. I’m looking forward to getting home and being able to take it again. As
I’ve come to realize with myself that I just don’t like going for a walk in a
neighborhood. I like the seclusion and peacefulness the path I take provides. Now
it’s not like I’ve just been sitting on my butt doing nothing since being away
from home. I just haven’t been going for the mile walk or some sort of obvious
workout. In all fairness, there is a heat wave (or feels that way) going
through as I’ve already mentioned.

Okay so this post was kind of just some
rambles squished together, but there you have it. LOL! Now I am off to get some
things done, and then guzzle my coffee while I further work on design stuff.
Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!

What a beautiful view. I am sure that you will find your path when you are ready to take that walk. It has happens just at the right time. I am excited about your upcoming educational possibilities and can not wait to see the new sight. Thank you for visiting me on blog frog. I am subscribe to your post so that I can see what you are going to be up too this summer.

Oh it is. I’m definitely soaking up this peaceful view as much as I can while I’m here. I’ll be returning to my path though at the beginning of next week though. I think I’m just waiting to return to the enjoyment of a secluded path for my walks. LOL! Maybe I’m weird, but I always feel awkward just taking a walk down a neighborhood street. Thank you for visiting me as well! :)
